Beach Essentials & Giveaway

Thursday, 16 July 2015

Today is all about summer and heading to the beach and/or pool, luckily the weather today is much better than it has been all week so it might still be a possibility in the UK!

A waterproof mascara is an essential if you have tiny eyelashes like I do and want to make them pop, my favourite is the Lash Sensational so I'd definitely be after that in waterproof for the summer! I think a lip balm is also an essential, my favourite to use abroad are the EOS balms because they're pretty big and don't get lost amidst the clutter in my bag, Urban Outfitters sells them if you're after any, but The Body Shop born lippy lipbalm is a good hydrating option for those of you who don't want something so bulky in your bag. I add a travel mirror and The Body ShopVitamin E face mist this was so amazing last year, I absolutely love it, it's perfect to help you cool down a little when it gets too hot, and not to talk about all the vitamins in it.

I also came across a really cool concept called SmartSun these are basically one-use bracelets which help you keep an eye on sun intake. They start off yellow and turn different colours depending on whether you need to apply more sunscreen or get out of the sun based on the amount of exposure you have had. These are great if you're spending a long time at the beach and exposed to the sun all day or if you're going on a city break, the idea of applying sunscreen usually doesn't cross my mind so one of these bracelets would be super useful as a reminder. In terms of sunscreen, my go to is Clarins but I usually buy these either at the airport or abroad because they're slightly cheaper and they don't add weight to my luggage.
